After 8 years of "patiently" waiting John was able to surprise Lauren with the perfect proposal. It was a beautiful day and they both had it off so John tossed out the idea of going for a hike. They decided on the Glen Boulder trail and began their ascent. Once they reached the boulder John took Lauren a little farther up the trail to overlook the views. When Lauren turned back around John was on one knee (which he ended up cutting) with the most perfect ring. She of course said, Yes! Exactly 4 years later we are so excited to finally make it official and want you all to be with us as we journey into this next adventure in this crazy thing we call life.
